In the heart of Fadugu, at the Koindagu District Peripheral Health Unit (PHU), Kadiatu Mansaray, a devoted mother of seven-month-old Amie, shares her unwavering belief in the power of vaccines. As she lovingly cradles her baby, Kadiatu speaks with conviction about the importance of safeguarding not just her child but the entire community.

“I know the vaccines are safe,” she says with calm assurance. “There’s no way our government would risk the lives of our children. We must trust the science.”

Kadiatu’s faith in vaccines extends beyond her own family. She recognises that vaccination is not just about individual protection but about creating a shield of immunity for the whole community. When more people are vaccinated, the spread of diseases is significantly reduced, offering critical protection to the most vulnerable.

Her message to other parents is clear: trust the research, trust the health workers, and trust the vaccines. “Our children’s future depends on the decisions we make today,” she emphasises.

Kadiatu’s powerful story serves as a poignant reminder that one mother’s trust in vaccines can help forge a healthier, safer future for all.
